The man sat on a luxurious chair and put the wine in his hand to his mouth.
Then, he threw the wine glass at the hooded man in front of him.
"!"
"Can't tell? Are you kidding me? Who do you think picked up and raised you filthy orphans?"
"...It's Your Highness."
"Since you know, don't tell me about me... Hmph, no soldiers have come here yet, so it seems that this time the matter has not been exposed."
The man was right, the identity of the person who attacked Lexia could not be confirmed.
This was because General Goblin killed them to pieces, especially those people did not reveal their master's information to Rexia.
"When this incident happened, the princess's side must be more vigilant. Rexia herself is not strong, it's just that the knights around her are difficult to deal with, you know?"
"……Yes."
"The consequences of this failure are more serious than you can imagine. If it is discovered that it was my mistake, it may shake my position..."
"..."
"...I'll give you one more chance. If you fail the next mission...you can go away."
"We will always remember..."
"That's enough, back off."
"Yes."
The hooded man seemed to melt into the darkness and disappeared from the scene.
The man leaned back on the chair, muttering angrily.
"Dirty blood... Your existence is a hindrance to the royal family... I will definitely kill you next time..."
Darkness engulfed his thoughts.
***
The scene changed.In Alseria Palace, Rexia was resting on the bed in her bedroom.
Beside Rexia, the middle-aged knight──Owen looked worried.
"Sorry to interrupt your rest, Princess Lexia, how is your health?"
"Well, I'm fine."
Rexia was attacked by an unknown person. After returning to the capital safely, although the attack was reported, the king was unable to take major actions to hunt down the murderer because he did not have important information about the unknown person.
"...Is this really okay?"
"...I don't want to worry my father too much, and I'm fine, so that's fine."
Owen understood that it would be useless to ask further questions, so he asked Rexia about another matter.
"Princess Lexia, can you tell me what happened in [Great Demon Realm]?"
"I told you when I woke up, I have no idea who sent those people, and it was General Goblin who killed them..."
"That's the strange thing. When we arrived, General Goblin had disappeared. Judging from the situation, it couldn't just let you go..."
"Even if you say that..."
When Rexia said this, she remembered one thing.
Her memory was hazy from the shock and exhaustion of being attacked by the Goblin General, but the figure of a young man flashed through her mind.
"That's right...! A man saved me!"
"man?"
Owen looked puzzled.
"Yes, about the same age as me."
"Around your age!? In other words, a boy who just grew up defeated the Goblin General..."
Rexia's words surprised Owen from the bottom of his heart.
Owen was reluctant to defeat a high-ranking goblin alone, let alone defeat a higher-ranking goblin general.
Moreover, Owen's strength is not only in the Kingdom of Alseria, but also in other countries.
This country is different from Japan, 15 years old is considered an adult, so it is really hard for Owen to imagine that someone who is stronger than himself is such a young man.
However, Rexia also knew how inconsistent her words were with common sense, so she immediately denied what she said.
"But, but, that must be my misreading, or hallucinations out of desperation."
"No, there is no such thing."
"what?"
Rexia cried out in a daze, not expecting that the other party would deny her words.
"To be honest, when I sensed your aura, there was another aura near you. However, for some reason, that aura disappeared without a trace. I thought it was my own illusion..."
"So that person really..."
"Yes, I don't know who it is, but he does exist. What kind of person is that?"
"Hmm... That person has beautiful black hair and black eyes... He looks like a nobleman from a foreign country."
"Black hair and black eyes? It is indeed a rare appearance in Alseria... If it is a noble from another country, things may be a little troublesome."
"trouble?"
"...No, I don't know anything now, so don't speculate. That young man disappeared for some reason, but he doesn't seem to be hostile or malicious, so he shouldn't need to be overly vigilant right now."
As for Owen himself, he didn't want more people to try to attack Lexia.
Judging from not killing Rexia in that situation, it might be too hasty to judge him as an enemy, so he secretly decided to be vigilant like other nobles.
Rexia didn't know his determination, she looked out the window and sighed.
"Who is that person...? If I could see him again..."
